In this episode of 11 Life Lessons From Stranger Things, Karen and Bill dive into Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and explore how every character in Hawkins—from Murray and Joyce to Eleven and Max—answers their own call to adventure. Using Campbell’s classic framework, they show how the heroes of Stranger Things mirror the journeys we all take in real life. Whether you’re facing fear, loss, or change, this episode reminds you that the hero you’ve been waiting for is already inside you.
It’s about hearing the whisper to grow, following your bliss, and coming back from your own “Upside Down” transformed—with a gift to share with the world.
